Take California: Call for March & Strike on Sacramento

Take California: Call for March & Strike on Sacramento

Peace of the Action (POTA), CodePINK, Cindy Sheehan, several other entities, and all Vulnerable Folks are calling on us to march, strike, and occupy Sacramento and beyond beginning May Day, 2011.We seek your endorsement for - and participation in - this march/strike to strengthen our approach, our numbers, and our will.Strike: No Business As UsualNo More Taxes for Wars & OccupationsNo More Tax Breaks for the Rich & Their CorporationsTo be clear, this is a march and strike in direct challenge to Governor Jerry Brown and the legislature’s austerity measures in California. The budget “fixes” proposed will come down on the backs of the most vulnerable, while continuing to provide corporate welfare, funds and use of California National Guard in wars of aggression, and a regressive tax structure.We believe there is a better way.

All this is to say: End the financial and discriminatory wars on women, workers, unions, immigrants, indigenous peoples, disabled, and people of color, the poor, and homeless communities.All this is to say: End the ecocidal war against the state and the planet.All this is to say: End the cycle of perpetual war, occupation, and terrorism being conducted around the globe.We recognize the work we do in California now can be a model employed in other states and nations, and likewise seek your support to galvanize the effort and spread the word to your members, friends, allies, and colleagues. We will share our successes and failures every step of the way, and will help organize in every other state and nation as appropriate.The Plan: March. Strike. Occupy.May Day - International Workers Day: Begin Marches across the state to Sacramento.
